For New Year’s I resolved to get back into shape, so yesterday I headed to the gym at the booty crack of dawn.

I figured a workout sesh would help me accomplish two valuable things: 1) I could burn off the obscene amount of mint chocolate chip ice cream I ate the night before, and 2) I could road test L’oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner ($9).

L’oreal claims that Gentle Lip Conditioner is “96% of natural origin.” Like you, I’m not entirely sure what that’s supposed to mean (what’s the remaining 4%?), but the product does contain sweet almond oil and vitamin E, and I do know what both of those are, LOL!

It comes in 10 sheer (read: subtle) shades, taste- and fragrance-free, each designed to soften and moisturize lips. I tried Sheer Peach, a nearly transparent, shimmery peach.

I was running late for spinning class, so I slathered on Sheer Peach while going from my car to the gym in the parking lot.

I might have to give this a try. I am trying to replace a night moisturizer for my lips that was from victoria’s secret called ‘Balmy Nights.’ This might not work b/c it has a tint, which would probably just be for during the day.
What would you suggest for a night-time lip moisturizer?

I usually like wear a little bit of makeup to the gym (all those mirrors and harsh lighting… so unforgiving!). I don’t like to wear heavily pigmented or sticky lip balms, and this one is both sheer and comfortable.

I’m not very adventurous with my lip balm. I’ve been using goold ol’ cherry chapstick for years now because it’s moisturing with a hint of pink. But L’oreal’s lip balm sounds promising, so I’m going to give that a shot.

Looks very very natural and moisturizing ! I usually don use any makeup but these days I do feel like putting some bronzer on sometimes. Yeah it does come on my sleeve …another reason I dont wear white during workouts.

This looks really good! I really like applicator, too. I have a preference for the kind where you don’t have to keep dipping the sponge or brush.

I always wear make-up to the gym, and I can tell by looking at the girls around me (and their surprisingly coordinated outfits, too, lol) that I’m not alone. I won’t do full face, just some light concealer with powder and gloss. It never comes off either, and I can actually walk around afterward without channeling the look of the undead.

I agree — the tip makes it so much easier to apply (especially if you’re running late to your spinning class, LOL).

So I totally check out what makeup other women are wearing, too. Some ladies do a full on face and still manage to sweat without it budging (amazing). I wish I could be one of those girls with the coordinated gym gear! I’m lucky if my workout pants don’t have holes, ha!

Coincidentally I was thinking of getting a new lip balm today as my Chanel Hydra Care Lip Treatment is kind of running out. I love the packaging on this thing, is it a twist or a squeeze type tube? Either way I definitely think I’ll give this a try! =)

I never wear makeup when I exercise. It is better for your skin to let it breathe, and I don’t think you have to look good ALL the time.
And gosh C-Bale is awesome :3 I actually got here by searching “c bale” into google pictures 😀
